Turnitin is an Internet-based plagiarism-prevention service created by iParadigms, LLC.

Essays written by students are submitted to Turnitin, which checks the documents for
unoriginal content. The results can be used to identify similarities to existing sources
or can be used in formative assessment to help students learn how to avoid plagiarism
and improve their writing.

The Turnitin website has additional resources, such as White Papers, Webcasts, Research,
and Blogs that showcases the features and potential of this software. Visit the Turnitin Resource Webpage to access these resources.
